Lyrics
Verse:
Wonder, whatever happened to the thunder?
I much prefer it to the silent kind of gloom
I’m doomed if he’s done fighting for the thing we had
Before I lost sight of all the things we swore by
But it’s so hard to swear by dreams
Pre-Chorus:
He has my photo in a locket
He holds the memory in his pocket
He’s hoping I’ll return to who I was back on the day we got it
Well, I’m trying, I’m trying
I’m trying
Chorus:
He says he loves me, but he loves me not
He’s gotten me mistaken
For the image in his mind I set for me
He thinks he knows me, but he don’t know a lot
I’m not all that convincing
‘Cause I still can’t hide what’s wrong with us
He loves me for who I wish I was
Verse:
Someday, I’ll own a cabin on a blue lake
And spend my hours laughing, dreaming, free of care
For where I’m headed, ‘cause I will have gotten there
And he’ll see a girl as light as I said I’d be
If he could wait a little more
Pre-Chorus:
I keep that wish deep in a pocket
I hold it far away and lock it
‘Cause I got so afraid of wishing things, so I forgot it
But I’m trying, I’m trying
I’m trying
Chorus:
He says he loves me, but he loves me not
He’s gotten me mistaken
(You know he’s gotten me mistaken)
For the image in his mind I set for me
He thinks he knows me, but he don’t know a lot
I’m not all that convincing
‘Cause I still can’t hide what’s wrong with us
He loves me for who I wish I was
Bridge:
Maybe that’s just how it goes
Early on, we wear our best clothes
And it starts to fall apart
Once what’s underneath shows
He’s been holding hope for me
He’s been holding out for me
And I’ve been holding on so tight
But I gotta let him be
Chorus:
‘Cause he says he loves me, but he loves me not
He’s gotten me mistaken
For the image in his mind, but that’s not me
He thinks he knows me, but he don’t know a lot
I’m not all that convincing
‘Cause I still can’t hide what’s wrong with us
He loves me for who I wish I was
